Shot chart
Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Senators attack left, Blues attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 1 mark in a team's own end is an attempt logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net. Boxscore shots on goal: OTT 28, STL 31.
